Babies like little Ike here are probably the ultimate early adopter. He's open to trying just about anything without abandon. He may not like everything he tries and the concept of "fast failure" is completely foreign to him but he's a natural at trying and learning new things. Why am I talking about babies? Because they're guaranteed to be a big hit in blog postings of course. Puppies are next week.....
No we're featuring little Ike because he exemplifies the idea of trying new things and adapting quickly to challenges. Unfortunately, as we age we pick up baggage and become more reserved in trying new things, some of more so than others. At SilcoTek® coatings our technology is new and we're constantly finding new applications. Our team works with all sorts of customers from early adopters eager to give a new coating or application a try; to more reserved, data and evaluation driven people who will only try the coating after years of observation and review. Both extremes have their benefits and drawbacks, so we're not judging customers here.. It's our job at SilcoTek to understand and recognize customer preferences and offer unbiased data and support as needed for the customer to make an informed decision. Resources like our website, Technical Service staff, literature and whitepapers are readily available to give the customer a menu of options that will hopefully support the customer in selecting the best coating solution possible for their application.
Sooo.. In that vein we want to know if your're an early adopter or part of the late majority. Rather than simply offering beta tests of the latest trend setting coating technologies to all and seeing who volunteers to evaluate; we decided to double down and make it truly interesting by pitting your early adopter skills against the ultimate early adopter, Ike the baby. Take our quick survey and see how you compare! I know what you're thinking, "do I win anything if I take the survey?" Of course not! But you can take pride in knowing how you rank against the ultimate competitor. (no babies puppies or customers were harmed in taking this survey) (Do not try this at home. Controlled obstacle course... Feel free to insert your own disclaimer.) Warning, most challenges involve putting things in your mouth.
